Icom North America – other heavy-duty road engines: propane/LPG conversions of the Ford 6.8-litre V10 for 2012–2019 chassis, 289 to 305 kW, F650/750, E450, motorhome and bus chassis
Icom North America is a US supplier that converts series-production Ford engines to run on liquefied petroleum gas (propane) and optionally petrol, and registers the converted engines for EPA certification. This page gathers the conversions of the Ford 6.8-litre V10 the register could not assign to a named range; the model years and vehicle designations such as 2016 F650/750, 2017 Bluebird Bus or E450 indicate the Ford chassis platform on which the converted engine is fitted. The EPA engine-family codes such as KICME06.886D encode the 6.8-litre displacement.

The register lists here 15 versions with 289 to 305 kW rated output at 3,990 to 4,500 rpm. Injection is sequential (14) or multi-port (1), the fuel recorded is petrol and LPG (14) or propane (1). Maximum torque ranges from 420 to 570 Nm at 3,051 to 3,250 rpm, model years from 2012 to 2019. Among engine families, KICME06.886D leads with 13 of 15 versions, JICME06.8B8D and CICME06.8FM1 follow with 1 each; among versions, GBC18A05, GFA18J05 and GFA18K05 each have 3, GE918A05 and GFE18N05 each 2, and GE418M05 1. 14 of the 15 versions carry a USA-only certification.
The converted engines drive medium-duty commercial vehicles such as the Ford F650/750 range, motorhome and step-van chassis, and Bluebird-brand school buses; for fleets with a high share of propane or LPG, the conversion offers an alternative to diesel power with lower fuel costs and simpler exhaust aftertreatment.
When buying used, on these converted engines what matters especially is the condition of the gas system – tank, vaporiser or pressure regulator, and lines – and the tightness of all gas connections, plus the spark plugs and ignition coils of the petrol engine, which see heavier load on gas; the service history should cover the engine and the gas system separately, and spares for the gas system run through Icom North America itself.
